Toolkit Components

Using the LIS Toolkit: A Methodology for Assessing Functionality and Enabling Comparisons Among Competing Systems: PDF
“White paper” providing a narrative summary of the LIS Functionality Assessment Toolkit. It describes the rationale, background, as well as descriptions of the various components of the Toolkit.

Appendix II: LIS Scenarios: Excel / PDF
Possible scenarios for managing on-site live demonstrations. These scenarios are not exhaustive but will lead the user into specific areas of functionality that can only be demonstrated on a fully implemented LIS.

Appendix III: Total Cost of Ownership Elements: Word / PDF
Suggested elements for developing a “total cost of ownership” (TCO) worksheet pertaining to an LIS under consideration. The document will assist the user in estimating the total cost of owning a specific LIS and will facilitate comparison of TCO between different systems.
